the wash basin 30 is removed to the position 30' by pivoting the angle rod 24 about its leg 25 in the aperture 23 of bracket 16. The hose 38, if left on faucet I! and removed from the end 31 of nozzle 36, can then serve a double function by being useful for bath tub showering purposes.

The novel features and the operation of this device will be apparent from the foregoing description. While the device has been shown and the structure described in detail, it is obvious that this invention is not to be considerd limited to the exact form disclosed and that changes may be made therein within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus set forth and disclosed the-nature of this invention, what is claimed is:
